it's been that way since before i was born, idk if your aware but they blew a president's head off in Dallas once for disagreeing with them

so it's probably more healthy people treat it as entertainment instead of thinking their vote or opinion actually matters

Maxine: "THIS IS HIS NAME, KILL HIM!"

They even drag his children into this lmao Id have hit her in the face.
they never miss an opportunity to play into a negative stereotype about them, the controlled opposition conspiracy tards might actually be right


cause if this was any other situation, like a boxing match or other sport, everyone would be screaming it's fixed or they are taking a dive for money.

and until Trump goes after Dems insider trading and all the actual corruption, he ain't drained no fucking swamp, he didn't lock her up. none of the actual chess pieces on the board are being touched.

just random bullshit for the plebs to be either pro/against

Your vote and opinion do actually matter. From his inception as a politician, Trump was actually not ordained by the power brokers, and they did everything they could to bury him. Though the Trump movement has been a catastrophe for different reasons, his election was a singular victory for populist representation in the face of the corrupting influence of concentrated money.

Unfortunately, his second term is going nearly exactly how his first term went. He is leveraging every means available to him to prove he has POWER and INFLUENCE, which is exactly what he doesn't have, because he doesn't control Congress-- he's very close to a lame duck. Political theatrics, banging pots and pans while locked out of the kitchen.

Notice he hasn't actually done anything that would leave him open to being humiliated by congress like he was in his first term, and most of what he has done has been held up in the courts or walked back.

So yea, enjoy your entertainment while it lasts. Governing by executive order only goes so far.

I live in a non competitive district in Texas, Dems haven't ran for the house seat here since Ann Richards was governor

we ran the literal opposite of Beto this time and still lost to Cruz, so you're literally, factually wrong.

>So yea, enjoy your entertainment while it lasts. Governing by executive order only goes so far.

alright, i will continue doing exactly what i've been doing for the last 5 presidential elections then.

It's non-competitive because there are too many people who think like you or don't think at all.

Your Texas vote mattered when it was cast for Trump rather than Cruz or some other corporate chucklefuck in the primary, back in 2016. It's a shame he betrayed you, but it was still an act of popular sovereignty.

it's literally hilarious you think i vote in primaries, or voted for Trump, last time i voted it was for Obama, the first time.

my district is between +15 and +20 for Republicans each cycle, maybe google what gerrymandering is, and Bush v Vera

something the party could have attempted to actually fight, when you know, they had power at the federal level at some point over the last 2 decades, but now they don't have any power and somehow it's something i should care about, when they abandoned me behind enemy lines a long long time ago just like the working class they claim to care so deeply about.

sucks to suck

tater tots n prayers tho.

hope this helps.

send post

*sorry for calling you retarded earlier, i edited it out

It's been 20 years and you still don't believe in the unitary executive. C'mon man!

Bitching about how your vote doesn't matter, and simultaneously can't be bothered to vote. Now extend that individual behavior out to a few million people and realize how dumb your "votes dont matter bro lol" argument is when taken in aggregate.

Also, your autistic screeching aside, gerrymandering is pretty irrelevant in primaries, which is where Texas chose Ted Cruz over Trump in 2016 (though Trump still ended up with 48 delegates that would contribute to his primary victory nationally), so every vote mattered. You don't even understand how civics work and I'm the retard lol. In cases where your vote gets thrown away because of gerrymandering, primaries are especially important and impactful, especially Republican primaries that aren't tainted by superdelegates.

For their part, Vesting Clause minimalists tend to claim that Congress, through the exercise of its legislative powers including the Necessary and Proper Clause, can qualify or regulate the President’s exercise of powers that have not been clearly assigned to his sole discretion so long as Congress does not impede the President’s ability to discharge his constitutional duties.
The Necessary and Proper clause is also known as the Elastic Clause as well as the "Pussy Clause".
